A new generation of cheap lightweight plastic electronic technology that does not require silicon, but which is optically transparent and can be coated onto everyday objects would transform our world.
"Working collaboratively with industry is not only satisfying in that I see aspects of my work translate into real engineered products, but it provides inspiration for new avenues of research too. Roadmapping then allows me to critically assess how I should be developing my research portfolio and engaging with industry to maximise the likelihood of productive collaboration."
—Dr Andrew Flewitt
Imagine electronically updated food labels, computers embedded in our armchairs, even contact lenses linking us directly to the Internet to bring us into the age of plastic electronics. In this video podcast Dr Andrew Flewitt and Dr Robert Phaal both from the Department of Engineering and Scott White serial entrepreneur and CEO of Pragmatic Printing talk about the creative partnership forged between different parts of the Department of Engineering and outside companies that enable the technology and research in this area to be exploited successfully.
AMPly PSU + AMPly PA plugged together and working! there's a little bit of start-up sadness (SMPSs! curse you all!) but it pretty quickly begins working very nicely :D <10mA @ 22V for listening volume levels!
A closer view of my electronic tool case and how I organize all of my stuff. In bottom portion of the case you can see a heat gun (from Sparkfun), my soldering iron, spools of wire, solder, solder wick, a screwdriver set with various bits, and a project case full of parts I use a lot. In the top half you can see an assortment of tools including pliers, a razor knife, a set of security screw drivers, a small screw driver, flush cutters, wire cutters/stripers, and about six pairs of various tweezers.
NOS Parts from an estate sale.
Previous owner had been in HAM radio for the better part of 60 years and accumulated quite a collection of parts from the late 1950's to early 1960's.
Most are New Old Stock, with some parts being used but working.

we got our hands on a $100 laptop prototype (for the "one laptop per child" project). currently, it's just a motherboard that you plug a keyboard, monitor, and flash drive into.

Got a bigger breadboard :) Refactored my wires onto it. It's still hooked up to the Arduino and running Hello World.
Next step is to move it to the Raspberry Pi and get it working with some Python code I wrote.
